The table is a gravitational center that draws people near to experience love together. It can be the potential birthplace of love, or it can be the sustaining factor. Whether it is with dinner, a conversation, or a simple coffee, it is a meeting place where we can share and give love in all forms. Tabili No. 2 is an ode to love around the table and beyond.
The Garden of Eden is the symbolic space of perfect harmony, the place in which absolute happiness reigns and love flourishes. The image of Eden was a location for sexuality and human love, associated with the literary term locus amoenus, which in Latin means “idyllic place” or “pleasant place”. When Adam and Eve were in the Garden of Eden, before what is known as ‘the fall of man’, they were able to love without shame or self-consciousness. The Garden, therefore, was a place of innocent, uninhibited sexual expression and love.
For the second edition of Tabili we wanted to bring this Garden back to life. A place where we can find harmony and peace, enjoy the fruits of the garden, and come together as one, in a place of love, in the Garden of Eden.
Now, we at Tabili, would also like to bring something to your table. In collaboration with Carly Woalert, we proudly present our first ceramic tableware collection: “THE TABLE GUESTS”. This collection is inspired by each and everyone that has taken a seat at our table so far. The collection consists of 5 items that will hopefully provide a benefit to your table at home. Each item resembles one of the core values that together make up the essence of the table - connection (1), cultural exchange and knowledge enhancement (2), openness (3), safety and vulnerability (4), and meaningful gathering (5). All are the continuing table guests of Tabili.
What do you bring to the table?
The collection is designed, produced and handcrafted in Amsterdam with lots of care and attention using wheel throwing and handbuilding techniques. Please note that everything is handmade and we like our products to look as such - imperfection is perfect to us. No creation is an exact duplicate: our items bear variations in shape, colour and size.
Carly Wollaert
Carly has been under the spell of the craft of making ceramics since 2019, addicted to the freedom of being able to create almost anything she’d like by turning clay into a vessel. Hours fly by when she gets into a meditative state of throwing or handbuilding.
For Carly, the perfect balance between functionality and aesthetics is key. In her own life, she’s very particular in using specific objects for different occasions, as she feels they contribute to the experience- every occasion, dish or drink asks for certain shapes, colors and tactility. She believes joy is to be found in the small things, and for her, being mindful in choosing the things we surround ourselves with contributes to that. She hopes many nourishing moments for the mind, body and soul will be spent whilst using her ceramics.
